Two Rochester residents fatally shot a city man whose body was set afire in Genesee Valley Park, police allege.

Imani R. Williams, 28, and Syjesman Brown Jr., 32, are each charged with second-degree murder in the May homicide of David Jones, Jr., 34, of Rochester. The two are accused of shooting Jones in the head with a .40-caliber handgun, court records show.

A judge entered a "not guilty" plea for Williams Friday morning, because she does not yet have an attorney. Brown, who has been held in Genesee County Jail on unrelated criminal allegations, is expected to be arraigned Saturday or Monday.

Williams previously has a felony conviction, though information about its specifics was unavailable Friday. She also is facing charges that she had illegal substances containing fentanyl in her apartment and that there were also two children — ages 2 and 12 — left alone in the apartment with a loaded Remington .22-caliber rifle and a kitchen oven that "was left turned on with the door open with nothing keeping the children away," court records show.

The 2-year-old was her niece and the 12-year-old her son, police say.

Brown is facing drug possession and criminal impersonation charges in Genesee County. Brown, who previously served prison time for drug convictions, is also accused of a parole violation.
